Avatar m tn It is a small, sharply circumscribed, pigmented macule surrounded by normal-appearing skin. Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection of the skin caused by the yeast Pityrosporum ovale. This yeast occurs naturally on everyone's skin. When the yeast starts to multiply rapidly, it can form small colonies on the skin's surface. The reason the yeast does this on some people but not others is unknown, but it is known that tinea versicolor is not contagious.
Avatar n tn May be they are what is in this listing... but it's definately something you should get checked by a physician. If it is a sexually transmitted disease you should not postpone treatment as this could result in major issues down the line. As you said there is pain, while this individual just had the inflammtion and white heads, not trying to scare you or freak you out but don't put off something that may have become an issue after you had sexual contact.

Avatar f tn A yeast infection is when the yeast in the vagina, mouth or skin grows out of control so it causes redness and itching. A vaginal yeast infection is usually triggered after the person takes antibiotics, as they also kill good bacteria in the vagina that normally controls the yeast numbers. Natural yogurt with no sugar is the best treatment for it as if contains the bacteria bactillophillus adicophillus (spelling) which feeds on the yeast and regains that natural balance. Hope that helps!
Avatar n tn after realilzing it, I made an appointment and I was given a cream to treat the possibility of a yeast infection on my breast. I was also sent immediately for a mammogram(i am only 34) and am seeing a breast surgeon next week. the mammogram was clear and the cream has helped some however in my research I cannot find anything about yeast infections without breastfeeding. Is it possible to have a yeast infection on the breast without being pregnant or having a baby?
Avatar m tn is it something like yeast infection ..what treatment i can do for it ?
Avatar n tn Leaving aside whether what you had on your penis was actually a yeast infection (and not just irritation), what you had on your lip was not related and your sugar cravings, etc. are certainly not related. The whole notion of a "systemic yeast infection" is an alternative medicine concept that has nothing to do with what medical doctors mean by yeast infections that affect the skin, for instance.
Avatar n tn Hi, about 15 months ago i had a yeast infection on my penis. It left a couple scars so about 3 months ago i started putting mederma on them. I applied the mederma for about 5 weeks before i found out that your not supposed to do that which is when i stopped. The skin began splitting around the area where the mederma was applied (the tip of the penis and the skin directly below it).
Avatar m tn I have a skin rash on my foreskin that is only there when my penis gets engorged with blood. It turns real red bright red when manipulated or an errection when flacid its normal color. It doesnt hurt during the day or when not excited and when i am its just a little tender kinda thin skinned feeling. I have had prostritus and think maybe its gone i am not sure, my seman is thick and no burning when urinating but slow stream .
Avatar n tn cut down on sugar (or eliminate it from your diet alltogether), at least until you're clear of the infection. Yeasts feed on sugar and can make recovery harder, and make you more vulnerable to new infections. Fruit is safe btw.
Avatar f tn re suffering from a fungal infection. Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection of the skin caused by the yeast Pityrosporum ovale. This yeast occurs naturally on everyone's skin.

Avatar m tn I had unprotected sexual contact with my girlfriend who had/has a yeast infection and my symptoms are dry skin on penis, rash in a few spots, and a little discomfort. Also is male yeast infection totally external on the penis or does it cause problems elsewhere in the body? thanks any treatment I can do without seeing a doctor (no health insurance).
Avatar n tn I have always treated the yeast infection with an OTC 2-3 day yeast treatment from a drug store. It always works for me. If that doesn't work go to see your GP and you can then ask about the skin flap. A lot of the time the yeast infection can make you feel like you have a urinary tract infection. If after the yeast treatment and if the yeast symptoms go away and you still have the urinary symtoms go to your doctor. Just my opinion from experience.
Avatar m tn ) which may also have been secondarily infected with yeast. Prescribed Ketoconozole for the probable/possible yeast infection, as well as mometasone furoate for the psoriasis. Have been dealing with dry cracked skin on anal region forever it seems, but once I got these dry scaly areas on penis I finally put it all together (or the doc did), now I have the answer I believe. It does not itch, and is in separate distinct red patches, which my doctor thinks points to psoriasis, not fungal/yeast.
Avatar n tn Smegma is noticeable as a smooth or moist texture until it is allowed to accumulate, when it sets the stage for a yeast infection of the penis. Yeast infections are caused by a fungus of the yeast family (Candida albicans). Candida albicans is part of the normal environment of the skin, mouth, and intestinal tract. This presents as redness on the head of the penis and associated with a clear discharge sometimes.
19413498 tn?1477669741 I believe I was given a yeast infection from a woman after sex, this was 7 months ago and I have a constant red rash on my penis that gets really red when erect (typical penile Yeast symptoms). I have tried Diflucan, Lamasil (terbainafine) and ketaconazle cream all which did nothing. It has effected me psychologically an incredible amount.
Avatar f tn When we rub a wet newspaper it creates small moulds, so the same thing happens to my **** almost everyday except its white. I have been getting lots of oral sex so i think its 'yeast' infection but i dont know exactly, so please help.
Avatar n tn the skin on the penis is torn up wen ever i shag it starts bleedin and it burns can nyone help me about this
Avatar m tn I am a 20 year old male. I got diagnosed with a yeast infection in February of last year, which affected both my testicles and penis. I was prescribed 2% Ketoconazole cream by the dermatologist and I applied the cream for 8-10 weeks. When I stopped applying the cream, I had no symptoms whatsoever for 6 months (it was beautiful, I was finally normal!). It might be important to note that these 6 months were Spring through Fall, and the weather was relatively warm if not hot.
Avatar n tn This is the first time I have had thrush that I have had to go to the Dr to seek a Dr advice because it is extremely itchy and red on my vagina and on my inner thighs. The medication has been working but I am now concerned that the redness is not going away. Its been 1 week. How long should I wait before the redness goes away until I go back to the Dr? Im also susceptible in hyper-pigmentation after cuts and grazes and worried that my skin will turn darker in these areas the longer it is there.
Avatar n tn Is it normal for the skin on the outside of the vagina to itch so bad I scratch it off? Not just my vulva, my pubic mound, crease of inner thigh, & anal skin sometimes. It just itches. I have areas of acratched off skin open now & it still itches & is very uncomfortable. How do I heal the open scratches & the itching?
